1. Kansas City Chiefs – Luke Joeckel* /OT/ Texas A&M:
With the franchising of Albert, release of Winston, efforts to resign their defensive lineman, and Reid's track record of investing big on the offensive line...it all points to an OT with the Chiefs pick. Joe Thomas

2. Jacksonville Jaguars – Eric Fisher /OT/Central Michigan:
Monroe is a fine LT but the Jags are lacking almost everywhere else upfront. EDIT: similar to the Chiefs situation, Fisher is arguably bpa and helps one of the weakest positions on the team. Likely goes to RT, but with Monore having one year left, he makes great leverage for the team as a suitable replacement. Fisher was so dominant in Mobile, he might have actually lowered Joeckel’s stock by looking like a comparable option at LT. NFL comp Joe Staley

3. Oakland Raiders – Shariff Floyd* /DT-DE/ Florida:
Even with the recent signings of backups Walker and Sims, an elite interior pass rusher should still be high on their board. Floyd moves like an athletic DE and has the power of a plugging DT. Regarded as a sure top ten pick heading into the combine with Mayock and a few others thinking top 5. Tragic background that makes you root for him no matter what. NFL Comp. Darnell Dockett

4. Philadelphia Eagles – Lane Johnson /OT/ Oklahoma:
One of the biggest risers out of senior week and he impressed at the combine as expected. Now regarded as having higher upside then either Fisher or Joeckel. Perfect type for Kelly’s up tempo offense. Kelly’s also explained that sacks are kryptonite to his offense-a young, elite LT can’t hurt.

5. Detroit Lions - Sheldon Richardson* /DE/ Missouri:
Richardson is like a LB trapped in a DT’s body. Huge motor, surprising power, along with his mobility, could make him a top 5 pick. Doesn't fit the usual mold of a wide 9 DE but he gets up field, shoots gaps, and chases the ball better then any other downlineman in this class. Played at 285 during the season before bulking up pre draft and could fit as a starting DE. NFL Comp. Justin Smith

6. TRADE Miami Dolphins (CLE) – Dee Milliner*/CB/ Alabama:
Blazed his 40 at Indy then stumbled through his positional workout. Still, he's the top ranked CB. The Dolphins have ammunition to move up if they really want to and Cleveland no doubt would take a trade down and perhaps make it a bargain for a team to get into the top ten. Here, the Dolphins give up a 2nd. NFL Comp. Terrell Thomas

7. Arizona Cardinals – Jonathan Cooper /OG-OC/ North Carolina:
Extending Hoyer and signing Stanton doesn’t take QB entirely off the board for the Cardinals at #7 but I think it does suggest they might pass early and look for a guy later. Cooper’s ranked higher then Warmack on some teams' boards because he's the better athlete and could also play OC. NFL Comp. Jahri Evans

8. Buffalo Bills – Jarvis Jones* /OLB/ Georgia:
I think the interest in Geno Smith by teams in the top ten is just posturing to induce trades down. Right now I'm buying his story at the combine and feel like he'll pass enough team's med checks to not drop too far. I think the issue though for decision makers is not so much whether he can play with the condition, it's should he be playing. But it's his life. Obviously Jones is all in and wants to be drafted high but the next temp paralysis after an awkward hit might change his family’s mind, especially once their financially set. NFL comp. Chad Brown

9. New York Jets - Chance Warmack /OG/ Alabama:
Again - I think the interest in Geno Smith by teams in the top ten is just posturing to induce trades down. Ryan has one more season to show some kind of legitimate turn around or he’s out. Warmack is pro ready and helps Ryan immediately get back to his brand of football. Key word with this choice is "safe". Even if a rookie pass rusher taken here gets 10 sacks next season, if the offense plays as bad as it was, they're still picking top 5 and Ryan's out. Top priority should be to fix the offense. NFL Comp. Will Shields

10. Tennessee Titans - Dion Jordan /DE/ Oregon:
Jordan’s got a similar skill set to previous busts like Jarvis Moss-Aaron Maybin, but I think his experience and ability in space separates him. Pass rush specialist until he gets stronger. It’s also remarkable that he put up such a solid season while playing half of it with that torn labrum. Had he stayed healthy, he'd have even more buzz. NFL comp. Julian Peterson (with 4 more inches)

11. TRADE Jacksonville Jaguars (SD)– Geno Smith /QB/ West Virginia
Caldwell just might make a bold move to get his coach a franchise QB. The Jags give up their 13' 2nd & 5th and 14' 2nd and 4th to move back up for Smith. He didn't especially shine in positional workouts but came across very well in interviews reportedly. Also spoke of his reluctance to run, saying he was the facilitator of the offense and didn't want to selfishly take it over. If true, is that a flag? Idk, but I'd prefer a guy who wants to take over games. Regardless, the Jets desperately need to reboot at the position and would be all over a trade up if he falls. NFL comp. Mark Brunnell

12. TRADE Cleveland Browns (MIA) – Tyler Eifert /TE/ Notre Dame:
It's clear with the pursuit of Fred Davis that the Browns FO doesn't see Jordan Cameron as the guy at receiving TE. Chudzinski's offense revolves around the TEs to the degree that he's contemplating stitching K2 back together for a reunion. "Eifert is underrated and I think his stock will soar as the draft gets closer-starting with the combine." -Check. NFL Comp. Jason Witten
*previous Tavon Austin

13. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Ezekiel Ansah /DE/ BYU:
Dominated the senior game after seemingly overthinking during the practices. His combine performance should highlight his monster upside and convince that he can be lined up almost anywhere. NFL Comp. Justin Tuck

15. New Orleans Saints – Kenny Vaccaro /S/ Texas:
The tatted one is regarded by many as the top S in the draft. McShay recently gushed he's talented enough to play some CB. But he underwhelmed at the combine. The Saints need to address the safety spots and cut dead weight. NFL Comp. Michael Huff

16. St. Louis Rams - Tavon Austin /WR-RB/ West Virginia:
Austin becomes an upgrade to Amendola. The value of a legitimate playmaker is higher then ever-Harvin/Cruz/Wallace. And similar to Harvin, Austin can be utilized everywhere on offense. NFL comp. (taller) Darren Sproles
*previous Keenan Allen

18. Dallas Cowboys - Matt Elam*/S /Florida:
Stellar pro day and being looked at as both an in the box guy and a capable single high type. Pound for pound, one of the most physical defenders in the draft. NFL Comp. Dante Whitner

19. New York Giants – Bjoern Werner* /DE/ Florida State:
Hallo. Everything I've read suggests Werner is not as highly rated as everyone thinks. But at his size, he still explodes off the ball and shows the ability to stand up. Giants have a sound draft philosophy and have no reason to change. NFL comp. Jason Babin

20. Chicago Bears – Arthur Brown /LB/ Kansas St:
Checked back on ND games for Te'o after that horrid bowl game and compared him with Brown and Minter (vs Miami, Oregon, & A&M). Got to say now that Brown is possibly the best ILB prospect of the three. Undersized but doesn't play like it. He can thump inside while also looking great in space. He’s got it all but his size might be looked at as a liability. Sound familiar? NFL Comp. Jon Beason

23. Minnesota Vikings - Cordarrelle Patterson*/WR/Tennessee:
Incredible open field runner for a taller guy. Extremely raw but his upside is in the HOF area. Great leaper should mesh well with the lob artist.NFL Comp. Josh Cribbs (with better lateral quickness & long speed.)

24 Indianapolis Colts - Barkevious Mingo*/OLB/ LSU:
Mingo’s the freak athlete in need of a lot of polish. Overhyped though and I don’t think he goes as high as most anticipate. NFL comp. Mathias Kiwanuka

25. Minnesota Vikings (SEA) – Datone Jones /DE-DT/ UCLA:
Already had Jones as a 2nd rounder before Mobile where he crushed it. Any team, running a 34 or 43, in need of more pass rush should find it hard to pass him up. NFL Comp. Cameron Jordan

26. TRADE Buffalo Bills (GB) - Ryan Nassib /QB/ Syracuse:
Nassib didn’t stand out at senior week practices but the word is teams are still high on him. The Bills deflected interest in him early but it could have been a smoke screen. He’s got decent arm strength, mobility and accuracy. Not always consistent but he could respond to better talent around him in the NFL. NFL Comp. Andy Dalton

27. Houston Texans – Jesse Williams /NT/ Alabama:
Not yet getting enough recognition. Williams should become a beast of an interior lineman in the NFL-able to play in any scheme. NFL Comp. Antonio Garay

28. Denver Broncos - Xavier Rhodes /CB-S/ Florida State:
Rhodes has the size and tackling ability to play safety if needed-and he might have to in the pros. NFL comp. Gary Baxter

29. New England Patriots – DaMontre Moore* /DE/ Texas A&M:
Similar to Werner, it seems his stock is not as high as expected. But incredibly productive in his first season playing with his hand down inside a tougher conference and still very young. NFL comp. Willie McGinest

30. Atlanta Falcons – Alex Okafor /DE/ Texas:
Okafor was the best Texas defender imo and was one of the best defensive players at Mobile. NFL Comp. Andre Carter

31. San Francisco 49ers – Desmond Trufant /CB/Washington:
Trufant came out of senior week being called a first round pick and followed it up with a solid combine and pro day. NFL Comp. Courtland Finnegan

32. Baltimore Ravens - Menelik Watson /OT/ Florida State:
Extremely raw but a tremendous talent for the position. I think they’d like to keep Oher on the right side.

RD.2

1. TRADE San Diego Chargers (JAC) –Terron Armstead /OT/ Arkansas Pine-Bluff:
Held his own at post season all star practices at LT and OG, then blew up the combine.
*previous Deandre Hopkins

2. San Francisco 49ers (KC) – Terrance Williams /WR/ Baylor:
Wiiliams has size and speed but it's his quick feet that I think will make him a great pro. Sort of a sleeper that’s going to end up a steal. NFL comp. Torrey Smith

3. Philadelphia Eagles – Robert Woods* /WR/ USC:
Woods is sot of the forgotten guy after his mediocre junior season. What I like most is his toughness. NFL comp. Santonio Holmes

4. Detroit Lions – D.J. Hayden /CB/ Houston:
Stock catapulted recently and the only thing holding him back is the med check on his injury. NFL Comp.
*previous Jamar Taylor

5. Cincinnati Bengals (OAK) – Alec Ogletree* /LB/ Georgia:
I didn't really recognize how much of a freak athlete Ogletree was until I watched the all star skills contest and saw him demonstrate quicker feet then Robert Woods. Fills the stat sheet on a talented Georgia D but is still pretty raw and has character flags. Check that now-major red flags. NFL Comp. Boss Bailey

6. Arizona Cardinals – E.J. Manuel /QB/ Florida State:
E.J.’s got great size, arm and running ability but doesn't utilize it all well. He’s passive and shrinks in the big moments. But with the success of recent running QBs, it’ll push up his stock. At least in Arizona he can be brought along slowly as Stanton finally gets an opportunity to start. NFL Comp. Tarvares Jackson

8. New York Jets - Matt Scott /QB/ Aizona:
Scott was considered the best thrower at the combine by more then a few observers. With the running QB trend, I'll think he'll come off the board much earlier then expected. NFL Comp. RG3

11. Miami Dolphins – Justin Pugh /OT/ Syracuse:
Knocked for his measurables at Mobile but looked like one of the best OTs there. NFL Comp. Eric Steinbach
*previous Terron Armstead

12. TRADE New York Jets (TB) – Corey Lemonier* /OLB-DE/ Auburn:
Revis eventually gets dealt for a 13 2nd and 14 1st. Lemonier has been one of the most consistent rushers in the country for awhile, and only fell off the second half of his senior season. NFL Comp. Shawn Merriman

13. Carolina Panthers – DeAndre Hopkins* /WR/ Clemson:
Hopkins is loved by some but I’m not quite as high on him but he’s got great ball skills, quickness and the mindset of a #1 WR. NFL comp. Nate Burleson
*previous Quinton Patton

23. Cincinnati Bengals – David Amerson*/S/ NC State:
First rounder as a junior and a late round guy as a senior. He’ll fair better as a safety.

24. TRADE Cleveland Browns (MIA) – Tyrann Mathieu* /CB/ LSU:
If he showed the same awareness and humility in team interviews he showed on NFLN, he’s going to get some team execs table banging for him. Possibly the best CB out of this class. NFL Comp. Brent Grimes

25. Green Bay Packers – Eddie Lacy*/RB/ Alabama:
Superbly talented but also playing behind a phenomenal line. Still his feet, agility and speed at 220+ is special. And he comes with a ready made catch phrase. NFL Comp. Steven Jackson

26. Seattle Seahawks - Sylvester Williams /DT/ UNC:
I think the Revis trade goes down. TB sends their 13 2nd and 14 first. NYJ then trades the pick to Minn to move back up into the first. Williams looks a little like Geno Atkins..every few snaps.

31. San Francisco 49ers – Kawaan Short /DT/ Purdue:
When his motors on, Short’s a top 20 guy. He could drop because of inconsistency but he'll probably generate buzz though senior week and the combine. Seattle could be interested in an upgrade for Branch beyond what they already have. NFL Comp. Shaun Rogers

32. Baltimore Ravens – Eric Reid* /S/LSU:
Reid’s stock is not up right now but with a good combine showing, he should start getting that buzz going again. NFL comp. William Moore

RD.3

1. Kansas City Chiefs – Sio Moore /ILB/ UConn:
A guy I’ve liked all season deservedly starting to generate buzz after a good showing at both the shrine and Mobile. NFL Comp. Lawrence Timmons

7. Arizona Cardinals – Zach Ertz* /TE/ Stanford:
Ertz doesn't look as good a prospect to me as Fleener, who went high 2nd last year but underperformed as a rookie. NFL Comp Coby Fleener

8. Tennessee Titans – David Quessenberry /OG-OT/ San Jose State:
One of the best lineman at Mobile. Helped himself as much as anyone senior week and looked great in drills at the combine. Great quickness and agility into the second level and nasty attitude but needs to get stronger.

9. TRADE Green Bay Packers (BUF) – Kiko Alonso /LB/ Oregon :
If he can convince teams his college off field antics are entirely behind him, he could go here or higher with his talent.

10. New York Jets - Denard Robinson /RB/ Michigan:
Blazing playmaker who’s gotten overlooked because of his post season injury. I think his best position will be RB but he could be tried at WR too. NFL Comp Percy Harvin

11. Tampa Bay Buccaneers – John Jenkins /DT/ Georgia:
Bust potential for sure but you can't coach up size + motor. Jenkins gets blown off the ball too often for a guy of his size but massive DTs who can move and hustle are rare commodities-I guess. NFL comp. Shaun Smith

12. San Francisco 49ers (CAR) – Margus Hunt /DE/ SMU:
Still will shine at the combine but looked like an enormous project at senior week practices.

13. New Orleans Saints – Matt Barkley /QB/ USC:
Ought to go higher but his skill set is not the trend. It's always possible he kills at his pro day but the delaying is looking very suspicious. NFL comp. Chad Pennington

14. San Diego Chargers – Logan Ryan* /CB/ Rutgers:
Size, ball skills-needs to show well in the post season to rise. NFL Comp. Leon Hall
*previous Robert Alford

18. Dallas Cowboys – Giovanni Bernard* /RB/ North Carolina:
Not as fast as the big runs would indicate and has some durability and physicality concerns, but can make something out of nothing with impressive natural running skills. NFL Comp.

21. Minnesota Vikings – Mike Glennon /QB/ NC State:
I was initially impressed how Glennon had come along this past season...then I took a look at him vs Virginia and it all fell apart-ditto his bowl game. Might pick up big numbers in the right offense but will probably never shake the tendency to make unforced mistakes. Buyer beware. Most damning thing being talked about him is that he might not be a leader. NFL Comp. Derek Anderson

29. New England Patriots – Stedman Bailey*/WR/ West Virginia:
High on Bailey since last year when I thought he physically abused Mo Claiborne at the los and out quicked him in the open field. He's underrated due to his big play teammate and should go higher. NFL Comp. Doug Baldwin

30. Atlanta Falcons – Gerald Hodges /OLB/ Penn State:
A guy really flying under the radar that is extremely athletic and showed some ability at the Shrine to play inside or outside.

31. San Francisco 49ers - Vance McDonald /TE/ Rice:
Impressed everyone in Mobile with his size and athleticism but is still a big project. NFL Comp. Ben Watson

5. Minnesota Vikings (DET)– Xavier Gooden /LB/ Missouri:
Undersized blazer creating some buzz but I seem to remember him losing it a couple seasons back and throwing a punch at a guy he couldn’t get to the ground that he was trying to tackle?
*previous Jon Bostic

7. Cleveland Browns – Tyler Wilson /QB/ Arkansas:
Wilson’s small hands and the beating he took as a senior are looking like deal breakers for his stock. The team that eventually drafts him is going to get a big steal. NFL comp. Matt Hasselbeck

8. Buffalo Bills – Shawn Williams /S/ Georgia:
Testing well will really help his status and solidify him as a mid round guy. Mixed reviews senior week but held his own.

9. New York Jets – DJ Swearinger /S/ South Carolina:
Regarded as a high round pick in some places. NFL Comp. Glover Quinn

19. New York Giants – Baccari Rambo /S/ Georgia:
Has all the athletic ability but needs good coaching to be a quality starter.

20. Chicago Bears – Marc Anthony /CB/California:
Big corner who’s been defending solid talents Marvin Jones and Keenan Allen the past 2 yrs at practice. Quicker then fast type with the length and physicality to be a great press or off man corner.

19. New York Giants – Joseph Randle* /RB/ Oklahoma St.:
Quietly stepped up his game in the absence of Weeden and Blackmon. A complete back who should go higher then this. If he continues to get stronger as a pro, he'll be a pro bowl back. NFL comp. DaMarco Murray

20. Chicago Bears – Ryan Swope /WR/ Texas A&M:
Doesn’t play as fast as he timed and has history of concussions. But still a solid slot WR prospect.

21. Washington Redskins – Steve Williams /CB/ California:
Blazing run at Indianapolis has put him on the map.

22. Minnesota Vikings - Mike Gillislee /RB/ Florida:
Does everything well and has looked good in post season evals but is still under the radar.

23. Cincinnati Bengals - Landry Jones /QB/ Oklahoma:
Streaky but when he's on he's pretty good. could push for a bigger role in time.

28. Denver Broncos – Josh Boyce /WR/ TCU:
I guy I've been liking all season but thought his speed would make him a late round pick. After blazing at Indy his stock is definetly up. Poor man's Anquan Boldin.

29. Washington Redskins – William Campbell /DE-NT/ Michigan:
Sleeper that could wind up playing in the league for awhile.

Really, really like it for the Falcons. Love getting two DEs, and someone finally mocks us an OLB early this year (Hodges isn't my favorite, but I'd be cool with him). Not everyone is going to like the Kasa pick, but I see a lot of potential in him, and with a fourth round comp (with all of our other needs filled), I say why not?

Agreed with pretty much everything you said.

I like both the De's we got i love Hodges as a olb and getting him early.

Im fine with Kasa and the CB.

Overall a very strong Falcons draft job well done._________________ 2010 and 2013

1) Moving a proven LT in Eugene Monroe to RT is dumb. I have no doubts that he could play there... but why? He's already one of the best LTs in the NFL and we're supposed to move him over for an unproven rookie?

2) Monroe is going to be in his contract year. Moving him to RT is a good way to make him not want to come back.

3) Bradfield would not play inside. He'd be the swing tackle._________________

I rather go after a dynamic WR like Patterson or a pass rusher like Mingo or Moore than Eifert in the first. I like Bell but if Lacy is there then I would prefer him instead. In the third Hankins or Jones would be a great pick over Thomas. Then in the fourth TJ McDonald._________________

really not a fan of the Jets draft. With Dion Jordan there they need to take him over Warmack. Please no QB in the 2nd, especially Matt Scott.... Denard Robinson is too much of a project with no true NFL position. I like Swearinger a lot, good pick there. But overall, no for this draft.

So the Browns need a CB and the best one falls to them and they trade down? That is possible if they get good value, which your trade does not do. If Milliner is sitting there they will not trade back unless they get much more than the Dolphins later 2nd round pick. This is a bad move that makes little sense.

Then you have them reach at a position which is not as much a need and pass on other players who either fill bigger needs and/or are better players in Ansah, Vaccaro, Lotulelei and Eifert? Again a failure in my opinion.

You further compound this mess by reaching up into the 2nd round with their newly acquired pick to take a guy who at best will maybe become a fair nickel back or kick returner and has all kinds of issues. No thanks.

Then in the 3rd round you have them pick an undersized TE over a few other players who are generally considered to be better than him at the same position in Ertz, Escobar and McDonald. Not sure what your thoughts were on this but again it looks like a bad pick.

In the 4th round much better picks than Wilson would be Swearinger, Brian Winters or Rambo. Not a fan of Wilson before the 5th round and do not view him as any more than a journeyman as a pro.

If we do not pick up a FS before this point then Williams is an okay choice although I would prefer we fill that spot earlier and with this pick you take a guy like Swope or maybe Dysert.

All in all, in my opinion your choices for the Browns are not very good, starting with the trade in the first round.

Now a draft like this would be an absolute beauty! Fluker would start at RT
Long at LG, Hankins at DT, Rambo at FS, Gillisiee would get alot of work backing up and change of pace to murray._________________AMERICA'S TEAM and 5x SB CHAMPIONS = DALLAS COWBOYS!!!!!
